Ah, I see then :P

Plus, the Wii U will go down in price when the Switch releases.

I honestly think it's a really questionable move to just cancel the Wii U version. If it weren't a Kickstarter game, it wouldn't be a problem. But everyone who backed the Wii U version and doesn't have the money for another console will be left out to dry.

Money issues? It's expensive to import to Brazil,even more to wait it to arrive here for 5x the price if at all.

And Wii U has loooots of games that won't be ported to the Switch. I mean, I can't live without Skylanders/Rayman Legends/Whatever doesn't get ported.

I hope I sent the backer message to the right place(my pledge - messages). No response and even on twitter they just say "'contact us via kickstarter".

Now I'm sad, I was looking forward to playing this on my Wii U. I also probably won't get a Switch until 2-3 years after it's out.

Guess that's what I get for owning a dead console. I'll have to buy this on Steam (that is, if my laptop can handle it)

It's looking like, if you can run Hat in Time(same situation, sigh, gave it away to Bryman because it was clearly getting too complex for my PC compared to the kickstarter demo), you could kinda run this. If not though, I wouldn't push it if you really need the 15 euros.

It's sad that their forums, aside from turning into utter ****, are also trying to shame people into not refunding and getting a useless code. It's not an "easy monthly wage" because not everyone has any money left at the end of the month, it's not "lazy" if you kept your word knowing it'd be the weaker version, and HELL NO it's not a betrayal if you "take their money". They made their bed, now they have to lie on it. It's no WiiU only owner's fault.

tfw you're hoping to get a switch for your birthday and want to say you'll play yooka laylee but don't want to come off as a jerk while doing so

That's totes fine. Though of course I'd advise waiting past reviews because people disn't react so well to the latest trailer. Even with the legendary BK team, you never know.

Exciting News For Kewpie-Jazzy fans !

Game was complete despite failed Kickstarter asking for €92,000.

[I should note that there aren't many fans and the news is less than exciting]

Uh..... not that exciting.

fixed.

That sign makes my game's UI look good. And we've yet to change from the default fonts.

Oh, of course.

And regarding the whole "Fur Fun" thing, cool that it's no longer blatantly ripping off this game.

This in from twitter.....

New trailer with new mode:

Yo I'd totally kickstart one of Rextro's games. ^.^b

I remember reading a news annoucement a while ago on the Yooka-Laylee website, about how pre-ordering Yooka-Laylee grants instant access to the Toybox demo. However, there were no real specifics on that. Has anyone here had experience with this? Does pre-ordering a physical version from Amazon, for example, still get you the Toybox?

I remember seeing some people ask Playtonic, and as usual, 'we'll give details later'.

Btw everyone's still waiting on refunds and WiiU-Switch backer changes. No response ever since they said the same thing. Love you not-Rare, but seriously, the PR is not looking good after the first few months of secretive development.

I'm not a fan of the "hey, lets do a pallete swap of the main character" for the mini arcade games. But it's to late in development to do anything. Heck, I hate that mentality in any game. But at least it's just with mini-games, the sandbox two player mode sounds interesting and has Drawdlers favorite.

BEES

-------------------

Backerkit changes also coming soon for people who want to change from WiiU or other consoles or ask for refunds.

Honestly, the situation with the Switch doesn't make sense to me. If they're working so closely with Nintendo, then why is it coming later than the other versions, and why isn't there a physical release already made? I know the Switch runs on cartridges, but if games like Skyrim can be put on a Switch cartridge, why can't this game?

I'm sure there will eventually be a physical release for Switch but the digital version is just quicker and easier to get done.

So, this was posted on Playtonic's twitter.....Hmmm.

Ayy I just saw the amiibo topic bumped above this one and thought a Yooka-Laylee amiibo would be nice

Here's hoping. I'm kinda "whatever" on the SteamWorld amiibo, since I like that game, but not enough to buy any merch of it.

steamworld amiibo was confirmed to be a fan custom iirc.

I want that figure so bad. I wonder what a Yooka-Laylee amiibo would do, though?

New game play for a level! it's name is




I think it looks fun, but a bit empty. On the Nintendo subreddit, people are disappointed with it...

Not just the Nintendo subreddit. Everyone's talking about how it's a lot of space with very little design, like they made it too big for its own assets. I hope that's not a bad sign, since Tribalstack Tropics is also kinda messy compared to BK and Tooie.

Knowing me, I'll probably end up enjoying it, but I do worry for other fans hyped for the game

I can't even play it, so eh. Shame they tried to do an N64 style in modern without noticing that the cramped style actually helps level design, at least on this case. Less is more,etc.

edit: for people who can't see the video, someone took a screenshot. You don't see Isle o' Hags being this empty until the cliffs, and even then it messes with height.
Sorry about the page stretch.

Yeah, looking at it, it reminds me of Enter the Dragonfly and it's love of wide open spaces with nothing in them. I mean, it's not a complete deal breaker, but let's just hope that modern gaming's fascination with big, open worlds isn't messing with this game too much.

At least Yooka and Laylee seem to move pretty quickly though. I don't feel like there were any lengthy periods in the trailer where they were just walking from place to place rather than doing something fun and interesting.

Edit: I imagine they also included a lot of open space in this level specifically to accomodate for the helicopter transformation.

Playtonic is working on it tho?

do you think it's possible they're leaving assets out? I just feel like, these guys know how to make games so, why would they make it so empty? maybe to keep surprises for the actual release maybe?

@Lunarz- I mean, that could be somewhat possible, but none of the levels barring Capital Cashino seem empty.

JonTron's contribution to YK has been removed. Even if you agree or not with him, he took the risks making the statements close to release and now there are consequences.

Well, can't say I'm too surprised, given the controversy surrounding him... Oh well, most of the dialogue in the game was relayed through text and gibberish anyways, so I don't care much.

I know why they had to do this, but I still feel really bad for poor Jon. I don't agree with everything he said, but I don't think he deserves this.

As much as it hurts that the biggest BK fan lost his dream to something this simple, he still brought this upon himself. Just like other devs that have voiced polarizing opinions before(Bioware and friends had a lot of this) he had to keep a professional face in these release weeks and failed.

Sure. Business is business... I still don't entirely agree with this sentiment, even from a business perspective. Now the controversy is on their shoulders because, up to now, people have probably forgotten about his involvement with the game in the first place.

I'm less angry by this and more just saddened for Jon.

I for one am glad Playtonic made the right call and gave JonTron the royal boot. Who knows? Maybe JonTron will find some voice-acting work in Keiji Inafune's Red Ash or in Gearbox Software's next Duke Nukem game.
